Special thanks to Michelle Lin from ALiEM, Scott Weingart from EMCrit, Brent Thoma from CanadiEM, and Ken Milne from The Skeptics’ Guide to Emergency Medicine for hosting our international competition.

Spread the social media love to congratulate these amazing EM residents! And, remember to sign up for the amazing Essentials of Emergency Medicine 2016 conference before the Early Bird Discount ends on April 1st.

Over the past two weeks, you heard REBEL EM’s Salim Rezaie and EMRAP’s Cameron Berg go over their evidence-based approaches to low-risk chest pain using the HEART and TIMI score. This week, listen in as they answer your burning questions from delta troponins to stress tests to applying these ADPs using our run-of-the-mill troponins:

We are excited to be moving Essentials of EM to May. Who doesn’t love Las Vegas in May? Plus we don’t have to wait until the fall to see the EEM family again. This year, we’re giving you control of the conference topics. (at least a few of them) That’s right, we are giving you the opportunity to have 3 of our incredible EEM faculty take your topics, hit the books and produce exclusive, custom, and shiny new lectures just for you. What more could you ask for?

Tweet @EssentialsofEM, using the hashtag #EEM16, and suggest your ideas for a topic and faculty by March 15, 2016. Choose from Al Sacchetti, Billy Mallon, or Haney Mallemat. The faculty will pick from your suggested topics. Choose your topics wisely… you know how Billy can get when let loose on stage!

When you’re done tweeting, register for the conference to hear your lecture live! The $50 Early Bird discount ends soon, on April 1st.

Register for EEM 2016 before the $50 Early Bird discount expires April 1st!

Attending the Essentials of EM live event is a conference experience unlike any other. Our format of short lectures mixed with entertainment will keep your mind engaged and help you retain our high-yield, practice-changing education. Take, for instance, Rob Orman going over nerve block techniques for headache with Al Sacchetti:

If you can’t join us live, don’t worry! We’ll stream the entire conference online in real-time and post each session online at the end of everyday. Have some questions or comments for the faculty? Join our live chat room, where our online moderators will get you answers.

What are you waiting for? Register today to take advantage of the $50 Early Bird discount before it’s too late!

Last month we kicked off our 2016 EEM Education Fellowship competition on ALiEM, CanadiEM, EMCrit, and The SGEM. We’ve narrowed down our awesome EMCrit video submissions to the top three – and they need your vote to win!

Ohh…you asked for it. At last week’s EEM studio session, REBEL EM’s Salim Rezaie went head-to-head with EMRAP’s Cameron Berg about how they use HEART vs TIMI in their low-risk chest pain ADPs.

This week we kick it off with Dr. Rezaie and his evidence-based approach to low-risk chest pain using the HEART score.

For more info, check out REBEL EM’s post here. Next week, we’ll hear from Dr. Berg and his evidence-based approach to low-risk chest pain using the TIMI score. We’ll round it out the following week, as these two go head-to-head and answer your questions, moderated by the one and only Rob Orman.

This Thursday, at our FREE live online Essentials in-studio session, we’ll be going over your most requested accelerated diagnostic protocols, such as TIA: who stays and who goes home?

You know how it goes, a Code Stroke rolls in and you think to yourself, “Easy, we have a protocol for that.” CT is negative and as you start calling up the neurologist and ordering the tPA, the nurse says, “Oh his deficits are gone.” You thought this was going to be an easy admission, now it looks like a TIA. What next? Dr. Cameron Berg goes over a fool-proof protocol during our FREE live online session this Thursday, February 18, 2016 from 8:00am-11:30am PST.

He’ll be joined by Drs. Rob Orman (EM:RAP), Salim Rezaie (REBEL EM), and Joe Bellezzo (ED ECMO) for the highest yield practical knowledge you’ve heard in awhile. Check out the schedule below and join the moderated online chat on Thursday to ask the faculty your questions!

And remember, if you sign up for any Essentials 2016 package, CME credit for these bonus in-studio sessions is included. EEM is hands-down the best EM experience of the year. Get the band back together and let’s meet up at Essentials 2016 in May.
